Chapter title:Revelations

Chapter number:2/?

A/N: Finally I got this done, it turned out longer than expected, 7 Word pages when I thought it wouldn't go past 5 BUT this was a tense chapter so I hope this isn't too heavy, not exactly due to the length but because of the drama there is here. I'm not a fan of drama but I did say this would start off with it before it actually moved to the parts I hope will be funny and where I can play around with these guys and their pregnancies.

Speaking of which, I will explain everything on these pregnancies in future chapters, including anatomy and how Conrad's pregnancy will work somewhat differently to that of Günter's and Wolfram's while still having to face the same symptoms as them; I want to actually explain the differences between half-breeds and pure Mazoku's, maybe for my own guide to keep things "logical" and with continuity but if it helps me I hope it will help you as well.

I have to be honest, I don't know how the situation posted in this chapter actually works in real life or if it is remotely the way it does happen with real people but I tried to keep it to level with what I wanted for this particular chapter. If I, somehow, went too deep into something I don't really understand just know that I just focused on the story's situation and not trying to poke at a real-life problem in a light way. Don't mean any harm in any way.

I'd be happy to hear your opinion on my story with your reviews. Also please remember English is not my first language and I don't have a beta reader so please forgive me for each and every spelling and grammatical mistake you find.

Without further ado, please enjoy!

Chapter 1: Revelations

.

.

It was easy to tell when the conception had taken place. According to Gisela all three of them were about three weeks in and a little over three weeks ago there had been a celebration in the castle in honor of Lady Celli's birthday –no-one dared to ask how old she was though- and the party hadn't really gone as planned, people were having "too much fun" and it went downhill from there. Yuuri himself didn't quite remember much from that night but the morning after there was more than enough evidence to assume that had been the night Wolfram had gotten pregnant; also it would be almost another week before the royal couple had the chance to have sex again so it couldn't be any other night.

If anyone else's night had been similar to theirs –and considering the way most nobles wouldn't dare to meet quite a few people's eye the morning after the celebration, that had, in fact, been the case- then it would be safe to assume both Günter and Conrad got pregnant the same night. It didn't really help Yuuri figure out Conrad's situation though and his Godfather had refused to talk to anyone about it until he had talked to his lover, no-one questioned his decision, the news about the three pregnancies were to be kept secret until the brunet had everything sorted out. Yuuri also wanted to let his parents know before the news were spread to the kingdom but he didn't want to leave until he was sure Conrad was fine.

"Are you feeling well, your Majesty?" Yuuri's head snapped up at the question. He was currently in his office alone with Conrad, he was supposed to be doing paperwork but his head was too filled with concern to really focus. Conrad had been dismissed the day prior since the night he received the news had left him pretty shocked but this morning he had insisted to get back to his duties until his lover got to Covenant Castle, he claimed his job helped him with his stress, he also had been lucky enough not have any morning sickness that day, Wolfram and Günter were still feeling tired and Gisela explained it had something to do with their Maryoku shifting within them.

"It's Yuuri, Conrad." The double-black replied, over the years the exchange had become one of the things they shared with one another, not unlike the one he had with Wolfram about not being a wimp; instead of getting old it was something that helped them lighten the mood or break the ice like in this situation "And yeah, I am…"

"Do not worry, Yuuri." Over the years it also seemed as if Conrad could read Yuuri's mind without much effort, like he appeared to have done just now "I will be fine."

"I'm sorry."

"For what?" Conrad asked genuinely confused, Yuuri could only look down and shrug.

"I don't really know." The Maou answered honestly to which the older male couldn't help but smile tenderly, resting a hand on the black clad shoulder midnight eyes found warm brown anxiously.

"I admit I'm feeling very nervous about this, but..." The soldier trailed off at the sound of a horse rushing through the main gates of the castle, he felt the King's shoulders tense at the sound and he couldn't help but take away his hand lest he'd let Yuuri feel him tense as well; it was time "He knows he has to come straight to my office, right?"

"That's what I wrote in the letter." Conrad nodded at that and excused himself, making his way to his own office and hoping it would go better than he expected.

Walking down the halls he went over what he had planned to say over and over again, deep down knowing it would somehow work out but also dreading what would happen before it got to that point. Conrad could safely say there weren't a lot of things that scared him but the few things that did affected him much more than he would like and this moment was nerve-wracking: He was about to tell his lover of years that he was carrying another man's child.

Alone in his office, Yuuri couldn't sit still; he had to know what was happening with his Godfather… but he also needed to get this paperwork done before Gwendal came back from patrol or the commander would be mad at him… then again, Gwendal usually didn't come back until dinner and it was a little past lunch now so he was sure he could overhea- Make sure everything went well with Conrad before that time came and still have time to finish the paperwork; yeah, that would work!

Yuuri shot up from his seat and ran to a bookshelf to his left close to the window; throughout his years of living in this place, the king had found a hidden door behind the shelf that led to a complex set of tunnels and staircases that led to various rooms; he had found the time to explore each and every tunnel and had marked them so he wouldn't get lost in case he ever needed to use them and, with one of them leading straight to Conrad's office, there wasn't a better chance to use them than now. The soukoku ran all the way to his destination, he made it to the right door in just over a minute and leaned against it, due to the silence in the tunnels he could hear everything in the office without straining his ears.

"I'm glad to be back." It seemed like Yuuri had managed to get there just after they had started talking "I've missed you."

"I've missed you too, Yozak." Conrad said, the monarch dared to push against the shelf just a little bit, in hopes of opening a gap just wide enough for him to peek inside without alerting the two males inside; the entrance to this passageway was located by the middle of the room so he would be able to face Conrad completely if he sat at his desk, he just hoped Yozak's back wouldn't cover his view "Please take a seat."

"Sure." The spy took a seat in the lone chair in front of Conrad's desk, fortunately the man had decided to turn it somewhat so he was able to rest his left arm on the desk; it appeared he never quite enjoyed sitting straight but rather sideways on a chair as he used the back of it to rest his right arm; Yuuri was able to see both their faces perfectly for the moment and they didn't give signs of noticing him yet which was both: Relieving and worrying; they were obviously not as aware of their surroundings as they usually were and it was kind of serious for such amazing bodyguards "Say… You look like business, captain."

"You know I would never ask for his Majesty to bring you back unless I deem it necessary, Gwendal is usually the one who is in contact with you." The brunet sighed, he intertwined his fingers and rested his hands on the desk, looking away for just a moment before returning his gaze to his childhood friend "And this is important."

"I'm actually glad I was called back, I've been away for a month." Yozak said obviously trying to lighten the mood but Conrad's expression didn't change so Yozak's smile disappeared instantly "… I'm listening."

"You know we had mother's birthday celebration about three weeks ago." The orange-haired man nodded.

"She invited me to come but with the mission I couldn't be here for it."

"I have to wonder how that night would have gone if you had been here." The captain said, almost to himself "I'm sure you have heard rumors of some of the things that happened that night."

"I heard that the party served to have some relationships give a chance to love or something." Yozak said scratching his head "I'm not even sure what that means and I haven't heard more to be honest, people have been surprisingly quiet about the event considering it is a party held by Lady Celli and those events tend to be in everyone's mouth for weeks afterwards."

"There is a reason why people are keeping quiet about it." Conrad sighed once more, Yuuri knew it was to keep himself composed and also a way to force himself to keep going and if Yuuri had noticed that, there was no way Yozak hadn't caught on already as well, possibly that's why the spy seemed particularly serious this time and didn't interrupt or force words to keep coming "That night someone decided to play a trick on the guests, we're not sure of who did it but they used some kind of potion in the wine; it was well-hidden, no-one had even a small suspicion about it until the morning after came around."

"What kind of potion?" Something in the spy's tone of voice told Yuuri he already knew what the answer was going to be.

"It was some kind of aphrodisiac." Brown eyes looked down at the desk seemingly interested in the wood pattern "People who drank wine would start losing inhibitions and flirt openly with others, it eventually led to people sharing a bed for the night without thinking on what they were doing and with whom; according to what the people we interrogated told us most suffered from memory loss of the night's happenings but they didn't need much explanation to know what they had done."

"Conrart," The terrestrial tensed at the use of his Godfather's name coming from the blue-eyed half-breed; it almost never happened and even less with that stern tone. Yozak rested his hand on Conrad's intertwined ones and forced his eyes to meet his gaze "Did you drink wine that night?"

"… I did." Yozak's free hand went to cover his eyes and a soft groan left his lips, he hunched over in his seat but his left hand never left Conrad's, it only held on tighter as if looking for an anchor. Conrad lowered his gaze once again but made no move to remove Yozak's hand or call his attention, the taller male rested his right elbow on his knee, his hand still covering his eyes but kept silent; the hand holding onto Conrad's twitching every now and then and he occasionally rubbed his eyes roughly.

A few minutes went by, Yuuri wasn't sure of exactly how long it was, but Yozak finally moved his hand from his eyes, he let it slide to rest over his mouth while his gaze focused straight ahead. The brunet looked at his lover upon noticing the movement, waiting for whatever was coming next. At last, Yozak let out a long sigh and lowered his right hand completely, the left one not moving an inch to set the slightly tanned ones free; sky blue eyes focused on those hands instead of looking at the former prince's face. Even more seconds went by in silence before the spy dared to open his mouth.

"Did… Did that night… Was it… I mean, did it…"

"I'm sorry." Apparently those minutes weren't enough for Yozak to think on a proper sentence to articulate so it was the younger male who spoke up "It was a mistake that should never have happened, I am not able to tell you anything about it because I do not remember anything from that night and I do feel awful that it even happened. I can assure you though, no feelings were involved; it was just due to the potion and even if I did have sex with this man it was just that, even though it doesn't make it better… I am truly sorry."

"… It really meant nothing?" One of Conrad's hands freed itself from the hold the other's hand had on it and rested it atop the bigger hand squeezing softly, a small smile adorned the brunet's face.

"If it is not with you it is meaningless." The spy finally turned to look at the other man in the eyes, Yuuri saw Yozak's muscles relax under the warm gaze; Conrad was speaking through his expressive eyes and it was enough for the redhead to believe everything the shorter male was saying. Yozak let out a breath he had been holding and smiled at last.

"You know this is not easy for me, right?" Conrad's smile fell instantly and so did Yozak's "I mean, it will pass and all but it's just that-"

"That's not all." The captain interrupted and Yozak stopped talking, he looked concerned again "There is another thing… That also has to do with that night."

"What are you talking about?" The spy asked seriously, it was obvious he was thinking on more possibilities already "Is this man harassing you now? Does he want to start courting you? Don't tell me he wants to arrange to have more meetings like that with you."

"No, nothing of the sort." The brunet assured quickly, it was his turn to use Yozak's hand as an anchor "Actually, the morning after, he made it quite clear he was just as ready to leave that night behind us as I was; if I am honest, I wasn't planning on telling you, or anyone else, about that night at all, we were going to act as if it never happened taking advantage of the fact we could not actually remember what we did."

"Then, why did you decide to tell me?" Conrad sighed once again, this part was going to be the hardest one.

"Because we can no longer act as if it never happened." Yozak frowned confused and it prompted Conrad to continue, the shorter male was looking down at the desk but kept talking none-the-less "Something came from that night, something we can't just simply ignore."

"What is it?" Conrad's hold on Yozak's hand strengthened one more time, the brunet took a deep breath and raised his head to lock gazes with his childhood friend.

"I'm pregnant." Yozak's left hand fell from the desk, losing all contact with Conrad as he stared wide-eyed at his most precious person. The peeking boy felt his chest clench at the depressed look that came upon his Godfather and the silence in the room felt incredibly heavy.

"You're…" Conrad's gaze fell once again, not replying with words but rather with his posture "I… I…"

"I'm sorry" Was the only thing the younger half-breed managed to say before his beloved jumped from the chair and looked everywhere but back at his host.

"I… I need a couple of hours." Yuuri could have sworn Yozak's hands were trembling just like his voice, the redhead cleared his throat and spoke again "Give me until dinner? I-I will meet you here ha-half an hour before dinner, i-is that good? I just- I just need a moment, just- All right?"

Conrad only nodded in response and the other male left the room faster than Yuuri had ever seen him move. Once he heard the door shut the double-black saw his Nazukeoya hide his face behind his hands and let out a shaky breath. It was too much and, even though the Maou wanted nothing more than to come out of his hideout and be there for someone he'd come to love as a brother, he knew it wouldn't be wise and he himself needed to calm down; there were too many emotions going through him and he had to let them out before trying to comfort someone else. Throwing one last glance at the brunet, Yuuri went back the way he came before deciding against it and changing directions to go to another room; he needed to talk to someone and the only person he trusted enough to talk to about this was probably in the royal bedroom.

"I can't believe he's acting this way!" Yuuri had found Wolfram in the royal bedroom like he had expected and wasted no time on telling him everything he had heard in Conrad's office, Wolfram wasn't amused by his husband's actions but he let him talk anyway since the double-black sounded rather upset "I mean, he wasn't like rude or anything but the way he left... You should have seen Conrad when Yozak left; he looked so sad and Yozak obviously knew the effect he would have on him so he should have at least reassured him that it was all going to work out just fine but he just up and left and poor Conrad could just stay there and feel awful, that's not what a lover is supposed to do, is it? I mean, I thought Yozak was more understanding than that!"

"Yuuri, you need to calm down." Wolfram said standing up from the bed and resting his hands on the slightly taller male's shoulder, stopping his pacing and forcing him to meet his gaze "Listen, first off you can't just go eavesdropping whenever you please, even less when it's a private matter no matter how curious you are."

"But-"

"Secondly," The blond kept talking ignoring the soukoku "I know how you feel, I also would have liked it if things had been all right with just a few words but you also have to understand just how hard this is for Yozak as well."

"I know it's hard for him but… I don't know, I feel like I would never react the way he did if I had been in that situation." Pale warm hands cupped the king's cheeks, black eyes moved from the floor to meet with all-too-familiar emeralds; Wolfram's face was serious but he did not give signs to be displeased.

"You will never be in that situation." Yuuri rested his hands against the ones holding his face and closed his eyes, letting out a breath he couldn't help but smile softly.

"I know, I know; you would make sure nothing similar ever happens." The hands holding the Maou's cheeks pinched lightly and he opened his eyes surprised at the gesture, Wolfram was smiling at him.

"Glad to know you are aware of that." The blond let go of his husband's face and went back to sit on the bed, patting the spot next to him inviting the younger male to join him "But that is not what I meant."

"Then, what did you mean?" The monarch took a seat and waited for the fire-wielder to continue.

"If I had slept with another man that night and I told you that it meant nothing and apologized, you'd still be with me, right?" Wolfram's hand reached almost unconsciously for the slightly darker one which squeezed gently as soon as their fingers intertwined.

"Of course, I know you'd never be unfaithful to me on your own volition."

"Yozak and Conrart are the same." The Mazoku said looking directly into the half-breed's eyes "That is not the problem here."

"But the pregnancy was not Conrad's fault either!" Yuuri exclaimed still unable to fully understand the situation "He even drank the infusion hoping it would help avoid it and it was just bad luck, his chances of getting pregnant were very low as is."

"Yozak is not blaming Conrart for the pregnancy either, he is not blaming him for anything at all." The prince consort explained, he was being surprisingly patient but it was likely because of the seriousness of the topic "He is hurt not because of Conrart's actions but rather… How do I explain this?"

The terrestrial was genuinely curious now, he never saw Wolfram struggling to explain anything so he just sat in silence while the demon sorted out his thoughts. Finally the blond sighed and turned back to him.

"From an early age, male half-breeds are told that it' is unlikely they will ever have a child of their own unless they marry a woman because most of them do not possess Maryoku and there are counted half-breeds with Maryoku powerful enough to get pregnant or get another male pregnant; you being one of those rare cases.

Couples like Conrart and Yozak usually do not plan on having a family, and if they do plan on it, it tends to be by adopting a child just as long as they are together."

"Ok…" Yuuri trailed off still not sure where this was going.

"Now, though, Conrart is expecting a baby and it is not Yozak's… It can never be Yozak's."

"I… I get that," The double-black assured with a nod "But he will stay with Conrad so it means this child will practically be his as well."

"Sure, depending on the situation, Yozak might adopt the child but the point is: If I had a baby with another man, you and I could get our own eventually and as many as we wished, but that is just never happening for Yozak; he does not have the necessary magic to have his very own baby with the person he loves, however the person he loves is going to have his own child." Wolfram explained slowly, as if the speed of his speech would make it easier for Yuuri to understand and, judging by the king's expression, it was helping get the message across "Yozak just asked for a bit of time because he already decided he wants to stay with Conrart for as long as he can but doing it also means seeing one of his fantasies being fulfilled without being part of it; seeing his lover with a baby bump that will mock him and remind him that he can never be part of that, no matter how much he wants to… Do you understand better now?"

And Yuuri did, he truly did. Now that Wolfram had explained it to him he understood how Yozak must feel and it was easier to imagine the situation he was currently in and the reaction he had witnessed was much easier to wrap his mind around; if it had been him in that situation then it would also be incredibly hard to bear, that's possibly why Conrad had been nervous the whole morning even if he thought he had hidden it well and also why the news had hit him so hard, he obviously felt like he was betraying Yozak but it went beyond sharing the bed with another man: It was about a future they probably had already discussed taking into consideration their reality as couple and that now would be forever altered in such a sensitive way.

"I honestly never thought about it that way." Yuuri admitted sheepishly looking down at his lap "It just never occurred to me that it went beyond, well..."

"That is just because it's something that cannot happen to you." The shorter male explained never looking away from his spouse "It is something obvious you did not give that thought the possibility, it is complicated to consider things that one does not expect to experience by themselves."

"I still feel guilty for thinking badly of Yozak." Yuri admitted running a hand through his hair, the blond soldier nodded understanding.

"It will be all right, they will work something out." Wolfram assured "I am just curious about how it will work out with the baby's other father, we have no idea who it is and how they will react to the news."

"You really are curious about it, aren't you?" The older male let out a huff and turned his head away trying to hide his blush.

"I just do not understand why he keeps hiding things from us." The Maou chuckled and threw his arms around his lover's shoulders to pull him against his chest.

"Give him time, he's had to hide a lot of things before so it can't be easy for him to talk about stuff like this with us." Wolfram relaxed and let himself be held.

"I suppose so." The couple stayed in silence for a few minutes, falling into a peaceful moment until the green-eyed Mazoku spoke once again "Yuuri, you are not allowed to spy on them later today."

"... Ok."

Of course, the King always did as he wanted and, this time, he wanted to listen in again... Wolfram didn't need to know this though. The double black found himself hidden behind the bookshelf just waiting for Yozak to return, Conrad was still in there apparently going over some paperwork; Yuuri wasn't sure if he had left the office at all in the day but he couldn't blame him if he hadn't. It still surprised Yuuri that he was able to spy on them without Conrad finding out, he was better than anyone he knew at detecting hidden people but stress was a dangerous enemy for the brunet, as if the more he had it the less perceptive he was; Wolfram had the same problem even though Gwendal seemed to work better under pressure.

There was a knock at the door and the Maou could see Conrad tense briefly before letting out a breath trying to relax, he put the paper he had been reading aside to the small pile at the right end of the desk and turned to look at the door.

"Come in." Yuuri heard the door open and close and then footsteps in front of the shelf, the redhead appeared in his line of vision shortly after; Conrad's face appeared to be calm but there was nervousness written all over his posture and interlaced hands which seemed to be holding a little too tightly to one another. Yozak took his previous seat without another word and they stayed silent, blue eyes locked on the floor while brown ones seemed to be looking for something to focus on other than the male at the other side of the desk.

"I heard Lord von Christ was here earlier today." Yuuri was surprised that those were the first words coming out of the spy's mouth, part of him wanted to face-palm at it but he decided against it; it was hard enough to keep his breathing as silent as possible as it was "How did that go?"

"Since I did not tell him anything and said I would not until I told everyone else he wasn't really ecstatic but he did not try to push it either; I have a feeling Gwendal asked him to check up on me before he left this morning." Yozak nodded at the answer and another awkward silence stretched between them but they all knew the one who had to speak up here was the redhead and he had to do it at some point.

"I… I don't want us to end here." The blue-eyed man finally raised his head to look at his lover who looked back at him still not relaxing his posture "This is, definitely, not something I expected would happen to us… but it did and there is no way to change it now and… And I do know you want this baby to be born, if you didn't you wouldn't have told me and you might have done something dangerous, very dangerous for a half-breed, and if anything happened to you I just wouldn't be able to take it… I really appreciate you being honest with me about this and not forcing me into anything, you are letting me choose what I want to do and I've decided…"

Both of Yozak's hands wrapped around Conrad's and the monarch could see the bemusement in his Godfather's eyes, the spy's back was to him though so he was missing half of the 'action'; however he was pretty sure the expression he was missing was anything but bad.

"If you allow me, I want to be part of this with you." Yuuri could almost hear the smile as the sentence was spoken, the brunet relaxed visibly and his own smile broke, the terrestrial had missed that smile "If you let me I want to do this together with you and be there, if it means that our relationship will keep working I am willing to do this and, besides… we did plan for a kid in the future anyway, right? So, if you accept me I promise to do anything you ask of me."

"Yozak…" When they started leaning into each other over the desk Yuuri turned away, it seemed almost hypocritical to do it when he was already so deep into their business but he still felt odd looking at other people sharing affection openly in front of him no matter how natural he knew it was in some parts of Earth, hell he couldn't even get used to the idea of initiating public displays of affection with Wolfram yet and they had been married for years but part of him was still like that, he couldn't even see his own parents kissing without feeling slightly uncomfortable. The brunet's voice made him look back at the pair, both back in their own seats but still holding hands, Conrad looking so at ease now that his previous attitude almost seemed like a bad dream "You have no idea what this means to me."

"You knew I would end up doing it anyway." Yozak half-joked, in his own relaxed stance he had changed positions again and was now sitting sideways on the chair like he had been earlier "However, as much as I wish this was it, there is one more thing that needs to be taken care of, right?"

"Yes." There was that nervous stance again so no, it was not just some kind of dream "I need to speak with that man again and tell him everything."

"How do you think he will react?" There was a key of apprehension to the question but, at least, now they were two.

"I have no idea." Conrad confessed with a sigh, he looked at the desk for a moment and then raised his head to look at the man across him, there was a faint smile on his face "But something tells me to have faith in him."

"Who is he, anyway?" Ah! There it was! The ten-million yen question! Yuuri's heart skipped a beat as he leaned in impossibly closer without touching the shelf, this was so exci-

"Do you remember Shouri?" Yuuri's heart stopped all-together.
